As far as fixing a game for winner or loser, I think that that would be very hard for an official to pull off as there are so many other variables that would play a role in that (injuries, off-nights, players just not hitting shots), it would just be too big of a risk to try that.

However, if you don't think that an official could help dictate an over/under bet or cut a few points to cover a spread your an idiot. An official could very easily do that with only one or two calls at key times.

Like the above article stated, it will be very easy to tell. Just get the tapes of the games Donaghy worked, get the lines and the over/unders for those games and really all you would have to watch is the fourth quarter to tell what games he might have been playing a part in.

Personally I don't think he was trying to decide a winner or a loser, but just affecting if the spread was covered or not and how many points were being scored.
